PS4Mount 0.3.1

Play PS4 fake PKGs on a jailbroken PS5 straight from a USB drive, without installing them.

Put the game (and its update) .pkg files on a USB drive, plug it in and load ps4mount.elf. PS4Mount finds the packages, adds the games to the home screen and lets you play them from the drive. Nothing is copied to the console storage, and deleting a game on the console only removes it from the library: the .pkg stays on the drive.

Features:

Detects PS4 fake PKGs (game and update) in the root of any connected USB drive.
Adds the games to the home screen with their icon, name and update version.
Applies updates: put the update .pkg next to the game and it is picked up automatically.
Games run from the drive; no internal storage is used for the packages.
Deleting a game from the PS5 removes it from the library only. The .pkg is never deleted.
Notifications while scanning (how many games were found on each drive) and for added and removed games.
A web panel, also available as PS4Mount in the Media tab, to see the games and add or remove them from the library.

I use the offline loader to manage and backup all my saves. Been using it since 10.xx

The .elf payload is the offline one, right?

For anyone interested, I have finally managed to fix my infinite loading screen issue with split-screen on Halo Campaign Evolved!

So basically, you need to add a 4.xx backport and a modified eboot.bin to an existing dump (DUPLEX's one works great).

Please note that you need to apply the backport even if you are running a firmware greater than the minimum required to run the game (which is 12.00) because the modified eboot.bin expect the backported files to run (the eboot.bin alone throws a PRX module error at launch).

All credits goes to EGod Lelgo for the backport and Maikel for the modified eboot.bin, huge thanks to both of them.

-snip-

(might be obvious but don't forget to rename the eboot file to "eboot.bin")

Ah shoot, I just noticed that my comment was edited by a mod to remove the links (probably for legal reasons).

Well, if anyone need help about this, my DMs are open.

Interesting tool. From what I can see, base games and updates work, but DLC do not work (yet?)? Not really sure what's the use case for this, though. Using the same HDD on multiple PS5s? Similar to what ShadowMountPlus does with PS5 games? From what I can remember, you can combine updates with DLCs and make another custom update PKG file? would that one work?

Haven't tried yet. Expect more updates for the app at some point. Yeah some PS4 games are merged with dlc or you can do it yourself. I think your connection to SM+ is a good comparison. Sometimes I test PS4 games on ps5 and then delete from internal. Don't have many spare external HDD. Means I could save time and space.

Also interesting that can apparently mount game and update separately....If so can change updates on fly as you like.....if I understand that correctly

ELI5:

Why does consoles still uses webkit for rendering html even after so many entry point being discovered? Or use a sandbox (if possible) version of it?
Is it possible for a developer to introduce (maliciously) a vulnerability seeking to affect a given device (like a gaming console)? (How does one knows which webkit is installed? via license document/text?)
How does this specific jailbreak works?
- It starts exploring the vulnerability on wk, which allows to corrupt PS5's RAM with careful crafted payloads?
  - Shouldn't the ps5 browser/wk be working as a non-privilleged mode application? how does it allows to escalate?
- The payloads then replace current KX (syscalls) to give user complete access?
  - How that bypasses the need for encryption systems? (is there a specific syscall to check encryption?)
- The payload then allow HV overtake?
Tell me where I can find more about this process

Thank you

Correct. I manage it through the webbrowser. I load the .elf and access the manager via http://192.168.x.xxx:8082/

So, should I stay on 6.50 or update to 13.60?

Is it possible to move (transfer/redesing) saves from Profile 1 to Profile 2?

lululemon · Oct 12, 2026

Hello
I'm having trouble installing PS5 fpkg files.

I have the latest shadowmountplus, kstuff, and a53 ppr payloads, on fw 4.5 .
I tried installing through debug settings and through other package management homebrew apps, same result: An error occured CE-109573-5

Did anyone come across such difficulties?
Note: I did not make the fpkg files myself- got them from the usual place(s).
I tried spiderman2, hades 2, assassins creed blackflag, and cocoon.

Broad question. Depends on many factors.
What do you want / need from your system. Aks yourself this question and if you can define your criteria you know if you need to update or not.

Via Garlic Manager you can. I switch saves from profiles when the need arises.

Awesome, I'll use this for my game exploit.

Ideally, I want CFW—something similar to PS3

In both cases no. If CFW is the ultimate goal then having lower FW will always be better.

I did notice the audio in the trailer / demo video was slightly distorted - but wasn't sure if it was a recording issue or not.
@TheStonedModder is that just a limitation we have to live with? (no pressure, you have enough to work on lol)

At the time I thought it was my cheap capture card

But it’s almost certainly a bug on the ps5 side. Because a friend of mine ported this to PS4 and does not have that issue at all

Hi, how do I stop YouTube (for y2jb) from updating? I read that the method from Gezine at y2jb github—where you modify the version number—doesn't actually work. The same goes for other apps, like Netflix or other games: how can I prevent them from downloading updates when connected to internet?

Try this ->
Edit: Tried to make it a link only but it still extracted media. Hmm..

/me digs up his 10TB external ps4 backup drive to see what happens

If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing, right Sony?

Problem with these stores afaik is there doesn't seem much info what release your dl and then installing. Might end up with an earlier release that is bugged or bad backport. Once you get a clear nfo, and a category for updates and backports, maybe it will be worth it.

Id rather manually search releases and install myself so I KNOW exactly what I'm getting.
